Default New Humane Society!

Went to the grand opening, really nice place.. HOWEVER.. they have a salt water set up that is HORRIBLE.. I wish I could have found someone there to talk to.. Horrible algea build up on the rocks.. all the snails were dead and moldy in the tank... a few fish swam around... not exactally something I would want to show on an opening weekend.. that makes me a little sad...

I was there too. It would be such a nice tank if they would find someone to properly take care of it.

For sure they would love your help, don't expect them to be able to buy supplies though as their budgets are razor thin. I volunteered as a dog walker way back for BCSPCA and had a great time. Good people.

well then honestly maybe that's one project they should not have started to take on and they should surrender the livestock... it's a big tank... if they cannot maintain it there is no point in having it.
